From the primal depth's of the world's greatest myths comes this gripping fantasy of a boy, born to be a Maker, whose dangerous journey towards knowledge and power makes history ...

Amid the deep woods where the Red Man still holds sway, a very special child is born. Young Alvin is the seventh son, and such a boy is destined to become great - perhaps even a man with the enormous powers of a Maker. But even in the loving safety of his home, dark forces reach out to destroy him. Somewhere out there is a power that will do anything to prevent him growing up ...

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent read for someone who is interested in a diferent look at North American history, but also yearns for a touch of the fantasic. The first in a lovely saga that grips the reader from the first chapter. Following the young hero as he learns about his special place in the world and the battle of good and evil.

2.0 out of 5 stars Let down by lazy editing 21 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Like all of the works of Orson Scott Card, this is very well written, but is let down completely by the failure to proofread it properly and the dreadful laziness of its editing. His readers deserve more than this from his publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Orson Scott Card 26 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked this story so much I read it twice, and went on to buy the rest of the series. I couldn't put it down, or wait to read the next one.
